Category: SVN Member Webinars

Two Presenters from this year's Annual Conference Dr. Juan Carlos Areán and Shon Hart will present this one hour webinar on some of the unique challenges on working with men in supervised visitation. "Working with fathers does not have to be a challenge when you consider taking a thoughtful approach to your connection with fathers who are utilizing services is key to safe visitation services. People are more than what they have done, where they have come from and we must believe that all have the capacity to improve."
